Rounding Mode

Rounding Mode is designed for providers who see multiple patients consecutively. Instead of starting and stopping a recording for each patient, you record one continuous session and Scribeable automatically:

• Detects when you transition from one patient to the next
• Segments the recording into individual encounters
• Generates a separate clinical note for each patient

This is ideal for hospital rounds, nursing home visits, multi-patient clinic days, and any workflow where you see patients back-to-back.

1. Start a Rounding session from the web dashboard (navigate to the Rounding tab)
2. Begin recording — walk through your encounters naturally
3. Scribeable listens for transitions — when you move to a new patient, the AI detects the shift based on conversational cues (greetings, introductions, room changes)
4. Mention patient or room details — saying a patient name, room number, or bed number helps Scribeable tag each segment
5. Stop recording when your rounds are complete
6. Review individual notes — each patient gets their own note with the correct note type and content

Scribeable uses multiple signals to identify patient transitions:

• Verbal cues: Greetings, introductions, "next patient," "let's go see..."
• Room/bed references: "Room 412," "Bed 3A"
• Patient names: When you or nursing staff mention a patient by name
• Silence gaps: Extended pauses between encounters (e.g., walking between rooms)

Each detected segment includes a confidence score. You can manually adjust segment boundaries in the review step if the AI split them incorrectly.

After the rounding session ends, Scribeable generates notes for each patient segment:

• Each note uses the note type you configured (or you can set per-patient types)
• Notes include all standard features: structured sections, ICD-10 codes, billing suggestions
• Quality metrics (completeness, clarity) are calculated per note
• Missing information is flagged with clarification prompts

During rounding, Scribeable recognizes spoken intent that helps categorize each encounter:

These are optional — Scribeable will infer the encounter type from context if you don't explicitly state it.

• Rounding Mode is available on the web dashboard (not the iOS app directly)
• Requires a Professional plan or higher
• Works best in environments with moderate background noise — complete silence between patients isn't needed
• Supported in 36+ languages, same as standard recording

• Mention the patient's name or room number when you start each encounter
• Keep your recording device (laptop/phone) close enough to pick up conversation clearly
• If you notice a missed transition, you can manually split segments during review
• For long rounding sessions (10+ patients), notes may take a few minutes to generate — you'll get a notification when they're ready
